Pitch Report
It is a batting-friendly wicket and it could be a high-scoring encounter. However, there is some grass on the surface and the new-ball bowlers should get some movement and bounce as well.

IPL 2022 Match Prediction: Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals
Lucknow Super Giants have a rock-solid opening pair in KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock. However, Manish Pandey’s form will be a cause of concern for the team management. Moreover, it might also be the last chance for Evin Lewis to prove himself before Marcus Stoinis becomes available for selection.
In the bowling unit, Jason Holder has added some solidity to the attack. Andrew Tye had an average last game and he has to pull up his socks now.
For Delhi Capitals, the return of David Warner is a welcome sight. However, the number three position is not settled after the failures of Mandeep Singh. Delhi Capitals are also lacking the fire in the bowling but Mustafizur’s good form has made their bowling a bit better.
LSG Playing 11 (Probable): KL Rahul (C), Quinton de Kock (WK), Evin Lewis, Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder, Andrew Tye/Dushmantha Chameera, Ravi Bishnoi, and Avesh Khan.
DC Playing 11 (Probable): Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mandeep Singh, Rishabh Pant (C & WK), Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, and Mustafizur Rahman
LSG vs DC Prediction: Probable Top Performers
KL Rahul: Rahul is one of the most consistent performers in the IPL. After getting out for a duck in the opening game, KL Rahul is getting back to his best as the right-handed southpaw has amassed 108 runs in the last two matches.
Avesh Khan: The young pacer entered the season with a huge price tag and he has managed to live up to the billing so far. Avesh is the leading wicket-getter for the Super Giants so far with 7 wickets in 3 matches at a fantastic strike rate of 10.
Prithvi Shaw: The batting has been a cause of concern so far for the Delhi Capitals this season. With 48 runs in 2 matches, Prithvi Shaw has shown glimpses of his brilliance but hasn’t been able to pile up a big total. However, it could be the game where he finds his feet against a thin bowling attack of Lucknow Super Giants.
Mustafizur Rahman: The Bangladesh import has a knack for outfoxing the batters with his clever variation. The left-handed pacer accounted for 3 wickets in the last game against Gujarat Titans and he will look to continue his good form.
